* dev-manual, ref-manual: Moved "Licenses" section to ref-manualScott Rifenbark2017-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Moved the "Licenses" section from the dev-manual to the ref-manual. The information in the section is purely reference material and does not belong in the dev-manual, which is being reconstructed as a "how-to" manual.

* documentation: Fixed links for "build-directory" term.Scott Rifenbark2017-06-221-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Moving the "Yocto Project Terms" section from the dev-manual to the ref-manual broke several links to the id "build-directory". I fixed these to reference into the ref-manual now.

* documentation: Fixed links to "bitbake-term"Scott Rifenbark2017-06-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Moving the "Yocto Project Terms" section from the dev-manual to the ref-manual. Doing so caused all the links to the id "bitbake-term" to break. These had to be individually fixed. Discovered two unresolved references that were a consequence of moving that section to the ref-manual. These were fixed as well.

* yocto-project-qs, ref-manual: Removed Python 3.0 exclusionScott Rifenbark2016-09-231-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #10178] Previously, YP did not support Python 3.0. We mentioned that in the manual in several places as a requirement for running YP. I removed this exclusion in the following areas: * yocto-project-qs - the section that tells what version of Python you need. * ref-manual - the section that tells what version of Python you need. * ref-manual - the FAQ entry about not having the right version of Python.

The entry tries to cover "leakage" issues in general but calls out the specific case involving libiconv and iconv.h.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Throughout the manual I had been using angled bracket sets to denote user-supplied input. This is confusing and better shown by using the <replaceable></replaceable> tags. I scrubbed all the chapters and replaced as needed. Some other minor formatting changes were caught and fixed during the scrub as well.

* documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake featureScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.
